Event Type

2 day swift-water course. It’s never too early  – or too late – in your whitewater career to take a swiftwater course. You’ll learn how to keep yourself and your paddling partners safer.

Taking the course with folks you paddle with helps further as you’ll be trained in the same way and be ready to work together should something arise.

The 2 day ACA class, River Safety and Rescue, covers the basics in safety for better decision making and better water skills. We will cover the basics in swiftwater swimming, throw bagging, rope skills, foot entrapment rescues and identifying a wide variety of hazards. 
We will connect many accidents with their fundamental skills failure making it a personal and instructional for everyone’s best safety.
While this is an ACA level  2/3 class, those numbers have nothing to do with being a class 2/3 whitewater paddler. Also true is that many advanced  class 4/5 paddlers have taken this course and learned a lot.

Many KCCNYers have taken Wayne’s courses over the years and feel he does a great job not only of teaching but making it fun.

Contact Wayne for more details and expect to pay him directly ($150.)
This is not a KCCNY event and Wayne will be using his own insurance, but Wayne will be trying to fill with KCCNYers.

50% of the cost can be picked up if you coordinate 4 trips. See details of our reimbursement procedures.

As many of you know, KCCNY often gets the Hickory Run group sites which are about 20 minutes away from Glen Onoko. Cheap and comfortable. KCCNY PA residents usually reserves so contact us  if you’d like us to book or set up online booking. This is a release weekend.
